Get Your Inaugural Fashion Fix Here: Mrs. O Kicks Things Off In Style

You better believe we Slaves to Fashion will be watching the First Lady-elect's every style move over the next few days--as Glamour's Editor-in-Chief Cindi Leive put it on the Today show last week, "this is like the Superbowl for women!" And um, we even have a little office pool going to see who gets closest to picking Mrs. O's inaugural ball gown! But before we get to the big night...

We've got a weekend full of great clothes to discuss! On Saturday, the president-elect and his wife (who just celebrated her 45th birthday) did a "whistle stop" train ride, along with Joe and Jill Biden, from Philadelphia to D.C.'s Union Station--and she bundled up beautifully in a black swing coat with bell sleeves and purple leather gloves. Get a glimpse of them here:

Call it a redemption song--her camel colored skirt and coat were made by Narciso Rodriguez, the same designer whose red and black election night dress was called "a lava lamp." It's is pretty traditional, but leave it to Mrs. O to add a jeweled sweater, patent belt, and pointy-toe pumps to finish off the look. She knows the number one style secret of every smart Slave to Fashion--it's all in the details!
